Currently working out a series of videos for theater intros. Using Unreal Engine. Slow going but I hope to make one for every genre. At least I have one. I customized the Regal Cinemas 1990's roller coaster to my theater. Used some AI to change some wording in the narration and Davinci resolve to edit the text on the marque scroller. Gruelling work as unreal Engine is hard to learn. Nothing is straight forward. Everything is a task. But I hope in the end it looks great. Doing an old West town

I've been working on a system that generates movie-specific content on the fly every time you launch a PreShow sequence. Instead of static slides, PSE now dynamically creates a "Tonight's Feature" title card and (optionally) 30 custom trivia slides tailored to whatever film you're about to watch. I wanted to share the approach in case others want to build on it. Here's what it looks like in practice: you press Start PreShow on "Fargo," and a few seconds later your sequence opens with a custom ti

We frequently set up a collection of 10 to 20 slides as a pre-show before our programming for 30 or so minutes using the Slideshow module. However, we encounter the slideshow limitation: once all the slides have been displayed once, the slideshow ends, regardless of the total duration set. To achieve our desired length, we duplicate and manually number the slides, which is quite cumbersome when looking to keep the same rotation order over and over. Would it be possible to add a “loop” option to

Hello, We’ve run into a portability issue when creating sequences in PreShow Experience on a desktop or non-media-server player. Currently, PreShow stores all media references as absolute file paths tied to the original machine. This means that if we move a PreShow project folder to another server or workstation, the sequence breaks because the media paths still point to the original device location. This creates unnecessary extra steps when deploying sequences for: Short films Theatre intros
After all, "that which we call a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet" - okay, Shakespeare maybe had a point, but, for obvious reasons, he didn't know anything about software. For us, names matter because they usually herald a new release, a major change, and, yes, lots of lovely, cuddly new features.
So, as is traditional as we move through our current release cycle - Kodi v20 "Nexus" recently entered beta - it's time to announce the name for what will become Kodi v21. As usual, we ran a forum post for suggestions, and we then worked through them to remove the obviously-profane, legislatively-dubious or downright impossible to type quickly, and then put it to a Kodi Team vote.
So, with no further ado ... < adopts best Max Quordlepleen voice >
Ladies, gentlemen, monocellular and inorganic lifeforms, non-terrestrial beings, sentient devices ... a big hand, please, for...
Kodi v21 "Omega"
< sounds of muffled trumpets and applause >
Don't get overly excited about this version arriving any time soon, as v20 "Nexus" isn't fully-cooked yet and there's still much life left in the 19.x "Matrix" branch. However, you now know what's coming, and, if you're inclined, you can now follow development of this specific branch.
